Honda cars, made in Japan, are very popular in the UK. In 2020, Honda sold 1.5 million new cars. The Honda Civic is popular for several reasons. It saves fuel and has low emissions. Additionally, it is known for its safety features and spacious interior. Moreover, it is equipped with advanced technology.
As a devoted Honda driver, you should ensure that you protect your car in case the worst happens. GAP insurance is a good idea for protecting against a financial shortfall after a total loss.
Being able to afford even a like-for-like replacement after a total loss is sadly a rarity. Only 17% of people who received a full car insurance payout could afford to buy a new car with the same make, age, and mileage as their old one. To replace your Honda after a total loss, get GAP insurance to add to your settlement.
Hondas are lifelong cars. Japan manufactures some of the most reliable cars in the world, yet they tend to be less secure. As a result, Japanese car brands are targets for theft. Honda theft is relatively uncommon, but anyone can experience a total loss. It’s important to always be cautious.
GAP insurance helps you afford a new car if your old one is completely damaged or stolen. Vehicle Replacement GAP insurance ensures you can afford a like-for-like replacement after a total loss. GAP coverage helps you get on the road with a brand-new Honda in no time after a total loss.
If you write off a financed Honda, not only do you need to find a suitable replacement vehicle within your budget, but you might still have a car loan to pay off. GAP insurance has you covered. Our policies cover your remaining finance, even if you owe more than the car’s original value. However, we do not cover any negative equity from a previous car.
GAP coverage pays for the difference between your car insurance payout and your auto loan. This happens when the difference is more than the car’s invoice price or replacement cost. You can have complete peace of mind over your financial situation after a write-off by choosing GAP insurance.
Whether your Honda is leased or financed, ALA has the policy to cover your total loss shortfall. ALA does not offer specific financial GAP insurance. This cover would only insure your loan balance and negative equity from a previous vehicle.
Historically, you could buy GAP insurance from a Honda dealership and despite the convenience, customers used to pay to 3x more buying GAP insurance from a dealership than choosing a third-party provider. The FCA has since prohibited its sale from car dealers due to inflated prices, so you’re better off choosing a trusted independent provider.
Third-party GAP insurance covers all car makes. You can pick from four policy types based on your preference or vehicle details. Policies last up to 5 years and you can pay a lump sum or a monthly payment for ten months. Additional insurance add-ons are available including, Keycare, Tyre & Alloy Insurance, and Excess Protection.
